I stumbled upon another path from he works of Isaic Newton.
It's almost identical to liber secretisimuss and seems to be a very similar path. I can't figure out why it seems to use both the GW spirit (Mercury) and mercury (the metal). It looks as though he's trying to use the metal as an intermediary to help gold dissolve in the philosophic mercury made from GW.

Saturn though vile and base to see,is of our secrets all the ground.

In saturn is hid an immortal soul. Untie it's feathers which do it forbid to sight for to appear then shall rise a vapor shining like pearl orient. To saturn mars with bonds of love is tied who is by him devoured of mighty force whose spirit divides saturns body and from both combined flow a wonderous bright water in which the sun doth set and lose it's light. Venus a most shining star is embraced by it. Their influences must be united for she is the only mean between our sun and our true argent vive to unite them inseperably.

Our water flows from fourfold spring,which is but 3,now but 2,and which but 1. It is saturns offspring who keeps a well in which drown mars and then saturn.Behold his face in which will seem fresh and young when the souls of both are blended together,for each need be ammended by the other. Then a star shall fall into the well. Let venus add her influence for she is the nurse of our stone,the bond of crystaline mercury. This is the spring in which our sun must die. Saturn's child is the serpent which devours cadmus with his companions. Though it be defiled yet thou shalt with a shower wash off it's blackness til the luna appear shining most bright.

The substance which we first take in hand is mineral,composed of Mercury (not the vulger) and crude sulphur, Saturn's child, sable colored with argent vertis,wholely volitile,most brittle,and is our dragon which mars asailed in vain for a star showed that cadmus could not abide his force, The sages were amazed at this and named this their green lyon. On Cadmus sociates they let him prey and by his might they found he won the day. The fray when over lo a morning star appeared. The carcasses removed they went not far but to them appeared a spring,at which they tried to make the beasts drink,but in vain till diana's doves in shining bright atire calmed the air with their silver wing.

To unfold these riddles know that our Son of Saturn must united be, to a metaline form and Mercury.For common mercury is dead but yet desires to be actuated by sulphur and salt of nature. This salt is found in saturn's off spring which can penetrate the metal's center and enter sol's body. The sulphur seek in the house of aries (the sky). This is the magic fire of the wise to heat the king's bath,which within a week is prepared. This fire streight closed lies.Unlock it which thou mayest do in an hour and after wash it with a silver shower. It's strange to see this substance relent to a mineral,which is yet stelae volatile

I've seen warnings about antimony+mercry paths but not ones about GW+mercury. If you have any works with such warnings please share them.
